Patents

Five granted U.S. patents in satellite networking, developed over my time at Verizon — spanning quality of service, routing, bandwidth allocation, resource pre-allocation, and network redundancy.

US 9,042,355

Quality of Service (QoS) for Satellite Communications Network

Prioritizing traffic over satellite links so mission-critical data gets through even under congestion.

US 8,885,549

Bandwidth and Burst Rate Allocation in Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) Networks

Dynamically allocating bandwidth and burst capacity across VSAT terminals so satellite capacity isn't wasted on idle sites.

US 8,675,543

Route Limiting in Border Gateway Protocol Over Satellite Networks

Limiting which routes get advertised over a satellite link via BGP, so route flooding doesn't choke a bandwidth-constrained connection.

US 10,122,439

Pre-Allocating Network Resources for Communications Between a Network Hub and a Remote Terminal

Reserving network capacity between a hub and remote terminal ahead of time so bandwidth is ready the instant it's needed instead of negotiated on the fly.

US 9,923,761

Diverse Network Paths with Site Hardware Redundancy for Improved Availability

Routing traffic over physically separate paths and redundant hardware at each site so a single equipment failure doesn't take the whole link down.
